Version 56: As the young applicant seeking guidance on internship interviews, I unexpectedly received the job offer.

Exciting News: I Landed My First Internship in Cybersecurity!

I am thrilled to share the fantastic news that I secured my first internship contract! This opportunity wouldn’t have been possible without the invaluable advice from the amazing community over at r/cybersecurity.

I’ll be officially signing my Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) and internship contract as soon as my summer break begins in about three weeks. During the three-month internship, I’ll be collaborating on a web application project alongside a fellow QA intern.

This experience is a stepping stone for me, and if I demonstrate strong skills during my time there, I’m in line for a part-time position with competitive compensation.

I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who took the time to respond to my previous inquiries. Your encouragement and support have meant the world to me!

Edit: I’m overwhelmed by all the kind messages and congratulations I’ve received. The awards and support are truly appreciated—thank you all for making this moment even more special!
